Frank Lampard

What's the next game?

Rather than the big picture.

But we're in a good place.

My job, unfortunately, brings constant tension because you're always reflecting on the last one if it wasn't great, but really concerned about getting it right for the next one.

And that's the life I live.

Well, there was a lot of disappointment straight after it because I think we managed to achieve in the second half of the season to make that big run into the playoffs.

I think to play really well over both games doesn't make it any easier playing well but in reflection you can be quite happy with the strides we've taken but obviously the disappointment was huge and I felt really a lot for the players, I really felt for them because they gave everything.

And the fans and club, everything.

So that burden is there when it's fresh.

But I've been in this game a long time.

I understand successful moments.

I understand difficult moments.

And when you reflect and go to see what we did, it was more about how can we come back?

How can we...

Have another go.

How can we try and improve in every way?

So I think it was a good reflection time over the summer for me.

We didn't make huge changes to the squad over the summer, probably relative to what other teams did, more business, et cetera.

But we kept a lot of the same group.

And we just said, right, from preseason, let's work hard.
